SUMMARY:David A. Mindell: The Work of the Future
DESCRIPTION:The Work of the Future: Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines\n \n\nAutomation will transform our work\, our lives\, our society. Whether the outcome is inclusive or exclusive\, fair or laissez-faire\, is up to us. Getting this right is among the most important and inspiring challenges of our time – and it should be a priority for everyone who hopes to enjoy the benefits of a society that’s healthy and stable\, because it offers opportunity for all. In this work\, those of us leading and benefiting from the technology revolution must help lead the way. \n\nJoin Prof. David A. Mindell\, Frances and David Dibner Professor of the History of Engineering and Manufacturing (STS)\, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, and co-chair\, MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future\, as he discusses the task force report’s findings. \nRegister in advance for this Zoom Webinar: https://mit.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sd-yuqzouHdwSoyMigdNPrWYaoFrTJu7p \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n\nIn the fall of 2017\, MIT President Reif issued a call to action\, for the nation and especially for MIT. In response\, in February 2018\, the formation of the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future was announced and in November 2020\, the task force released its final report\, The Work of the Future: Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines. \nThe report provides insight into how new technologies are changing the nature of work and what institutional reforms are needed to support workers and promote broader shared prosperity. \nThe work of the task force represents the distinctive strengths of the MIT community\, integrating ideas from economics\, engineering\, computer science\, political science\, history\, anthropology\, urban planning\, management\, and more. Task force members worked collaboratively with leaders in industry\, government\, labor\, education\, and the nonprofit sector\, from around the world and across the US\, including from those regions hardest hit by job loss. Together\, they tackled three questions: \n\nHow are emerging technologies transforming the nature of human work and the skills that enable people to thrive in the digital economy?\nHow can we shape and catalyze technological innovation to complement and augment human potential?\nAnd how can our civic institutions – existing and new – ensure that the gains from these emerging innovations contribute to equality of opportunity\, social inclusion\, and shared prosperity?\n\nThe report’s policy recommendations focus on investing in fresh approaches to skill building and education\, improving job quality\, and expanding and shaping innovation. Policy and institutional reform are particularly needed at a time when Covid-19 has exposed many of the weaknesses in our labor market and social insurance system for workers. \nRead more about the task force’s findings on MIT News. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & MODERN WARFARE
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nIn collaboration with Anthropology\, Comparative Media Studies/Writing\, and History. \nArtificial Intelligence and Targeted Killing  \nLucy Suchman\, Lancaster University\, UK \nIn June of 2018\, following a campaign initiated by activist employees within the company\, Google announced its intention not to renew a US Defense Department contract for Project Maven\, an initiative to automate the identification of military targets based on drone video footage. Defendants of the program argued that that it would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of US drone operations\, not least by enabling more accurate recognition of those who are the program’s legitimate targets and\, by implication\, sparing the lives of noncombatants. But this promise begs a more fundamental question: What relations of reciprocal familiarity does recognition presuppose? And in the absence of those relations\, what schemas of categorization inform our readings of the Other? The focus of a growing body of scholarship\, this question haunts not only US military operations but an expanding array of technologies of social sorting. Understood as apparatuses of recognition (Barad 2007: 171)\, Project Maven and the US program of targeted killing are implicated in perpetuating the very architectures of enmity that they take as their necessitating conditions. Taking any apparatus for the identification of those who comprise legitimate targets for the use of violent force as problematic\, this talk joins a growing body of scholarship on the technopolitical logics that underpin an increasingly violent landscape of institutions\, infrastructures and actions\, promising protection to some but arguably contributing to our collective insecurity. My concern is with the asymmetric distributions of sociotechnologies of (in)security\, their deadly and injurious effects\, and the legal\, ethical\, and moral questions that haunt their operations. I close with some thoughts on how we might interrupt the workings of these apparatuses\, in the service of wider movements for social justice.
